Stump a Christian #38

Is there any kind of evidence that could exist that would prove the God of the Bible is fictional?

  1. There is no amount of natural evidence to convince me a supernatural God does not exist.

    There is no amount of natural evidence to convince me a lesser supernatural god does not exist either.

    I have experiences with God that are too personal, too regular, and too frequent to be anything other than a supernatural God.

    1. "There is no amount of natural evidence to convince me a supernatural God does not exist."
      ... And no amount of natural `evidence' can show that a supernatural God *does* exist.

      This means that the statement "God exists." or "God is.", is neither verifiable nor falsifiable (to a supernaturalist[1]) and so doesn't have a truth value.
      These constructs therefore, belong wholly to the realm of myth and can be viewed as metaphorical, symbolic and psychological - make-believe.

      Of course, if someone *asserts* God's existence, they're lying because they're falsely representing an unverified proposition as truth[2]. And we're taught as children that making baseless assertions is lying.

      [1] It can trivially be shown that the concept "supernatural" is as coherent as a square-circle.
      [2] Truth is fact that has been verified. A fact is a verifiable statement about reality or actuality.

    2. I realize someone with a different worldview will not be convinced of changing their belief system either. I am relieved it's not my job to change anyone's mind.

      You are highly analytical and an intelligent thinker, which I assume makes you successful in your career.

      Be blessed, A

  2. If we walk to the edge of the Earth and look over the precipice, and then see turtles all the way down.
